Maternity photoshoots are a beautiful way to honor this fleeting chapter — the anticipation, the connection with your partner, and the excitement of welcoming a new little one into your family. But when it comes time for your session, it’s completely normal to wonder: what should I wear? Should I get my hair done? How...
Choosing where to take your maternity photos is just as important as choosing the right photographer. The location sets the tone for your images, influences the overall style, and shapes how comfortable you’ll feel during your session. As a Boston maternity photographer, I help families decide between three main options: the studio, your home, or...
The first year of your baby’s life is a whirlwind of growth, change, and precious moments that seem to fly by. From the excitement of pregnancy to the sleepy newborn days and those first wobbly steps, each stage is worth capturing. But with a busy life and a little one to care for, it’s easy to let these milestones slip by without professional photos.
Its February, which means I’m busy with Winter maternity photos in Boston. This time of year, most of my pregnant clients choose studio maternity photo sessions over outdoor shoots. Obviously, living in Boston, the weather is a major factor for choosing a location for your photos during the winter. While I love snowy family photos when kiddos are a little older and everyone can bundle up and play, maternity sessions are different. Here’s some reasons why my studio is my preferred location for Winter maternity photos in Boston.
I have a good friend who’s due date has come and gone, and I was trying to think of particularly good advice to give her in these final days (hours?), about how to prepare for postpartum. Here are my tips for how to prepare, from my own personal experience!
51 sessions in 3 months, no sweat 😂😂😂🫣
NO FUN ALLOWED 😂😂 Can’t wait for newborn photos with this fam ❤️❤️❤️ #bostonfamilyphotographer #motherhood #maternityphotographer #bostonmaternityphotos
I’ve been up editing since 3am… anyone else have a child who barely eats dinner and then wakes up way too early STARVING??? Ugh
Popping out of my editing hole to share this session I just wrapped. I know everyone loves fall foliage but for me, wildflowers will always be the best 🥰
I know I am horrible about posting, but Fall is getting booked QUICK. I can only take so many sessions each month, so if you’re hoping to get on my calendar this year (including newborns and maternity) please let me know ASAP!
So many sessions I haven’t shared yet! This one was a stunner 😍😍
The sweetest review 🥰🥰🥰
Your little family 😍😍😍

“Will be coming back to Whitney for family photos! Her 10+ years of experience really showed through! Here is what I loved:
The wardrobe she offered up for postpartum moms for the photoshoot. I loved that she provided a link in advance so when I showed up to her studio I already knew what I wanted to try on. I opted to wear my own dress that I brought because my skin tone looks better in bright whites.
The ease! All I had to do was show up and the studio was stocked with food, baby changing table, cozy couch – it’s like showing up to a friends home!
Efficient – Whitney was amazing with my baby and she was able to calm her down and position the baby for beautiful pictures! The time flew and we opted for the larger package because the photos came out fantastic we couldn’t choose!
Friendly – Whitney was welcoming and patient when our baby became hungry during the shoot! She let us feed her mid way through the shoot!
Preparation – upon arrival to the studio she had outfit options laid out for the baby! It made the process less stressful and easy!
Fast turn around in pictures! Got finished pictures in less than 2 weeks! All amazing quality and she even did a minor edit on one within 24 hours upon request.
I can’t recommend her enough! No cons! Just book Whitney and you won’t regret it.”
